bird watching bench — photo spot in Bay Trail, Palo Alto, CA 94303, USA
bird watching bench
A simple bench on the Palo Alto Bay Trail overlooking tidal marshes and salt ponds—prime for shorebirds, raptors and reflective water patterns. Best at dawn and golden hour for soft side light and active birds; low tide reveals mudflats and flocks. Accessible, flat trail with nearby parking at the Baylands Preserve (no fee). Weekdays and early mornings are quieter; bring wind protection and insect repellent in warmer months.
